tried to add programs manually to dedicated graphics card but doesn't work

[litzhd]

I can disable my intregrated graphics, so that my Nvidia card (dedicated) works, but its really painful to always disable whenever i go and play games. i went to nvidia control panel and tried to manually select programs but that doesn't work. Game launchers specifically, they don't seem to use the dedicated graphicsa card. I also tried to right cick and "Run with graphics processor" on my nvidia, doesn't work. Any way i can set default to play games without always needing to disbale my intregrated graphics card.

First you need to get it to detect and use the right card.

A. Uninstall, and then reinstall, the latest graphics card driver.
B. Make sure that your Nvidia graphics card is set as the default graphics card.

Here's the steps on how to set it to default.

1. Open the "Nvidia Control Panel".
2. Select "Manage 3D Settings" under 3D Settings.
3. Click on the "Program Settings" tab and select the program you want to choose a graphics card for from the drop down list.
4. Now select "preferred graphics processor" in the drop down list. (You can see what the automatic option is listed as global setting) If you want to use the dedicated graphics card, select High-performance Nvidia processor.

Once it is running on the right one, test the system again and see if the problem persists.

So the computer will not allow you to change it to preferred?

basically, yea. whatever it is. even i checked it is set to default

Is it doing this on all games or just specific ones? And are they games installed on the device, or online games?

yea they are games installed of my desktop obviously, like fortnite i tried to make the nvidia preferred using the exe client but that doesn't work

 

[litzhd]

i mean like, i always ALWAYS have to disable my non preferred to force the computer to use the preferred one.

 

[litzhd]

Yea, you were right. i updated BOTH of my drivers and did the steps and it worked. I forgot to say that my nvidia driver unknown problem. Thanks for your help

 

[litzhd]

Ya...?

If it worked for a short while before reverting, I am starting to wonder if there are issues with the GPU itself. Have you tried monitoring the temps?

Open up bios. In the video section? there should be a switch for primary adapter. Make sure it's set for PEG or PCIE as primary, not the IGPU.

 

[litzhd]

Oh nevermind, it worked again.
